Torino coach Mazzarri says players must ignore Wolves

Torino coach Walter Mazzarri says his players must focus on the here and now.

Mazzarri refused to mention Wolves, as he wants Torino to focus entirely on Europa League qualifying opponents Shakhtyor Soligorsk.

Victory could set up a tie with the Premier League club.

But Mazzarri says, “I will not talk about them and am quite annoyed, because I think the draw should be done when teams have already qualified, not a whole round early. I am focused only on Shakhtyor Soligorsk.

“They have already proved themselves to be a strong team, tough and experienced. Having said that, we've been playing well too and have a good chance of progressing to the next phase.

“It's important that we are back on our home turf, because the pitch is in perfect condition and the fans can always give us a big hand with their presence."
